A
proposal for an Instructional Technology Center, 2004,
18 pages.
Author(s): Durdu, L.
ABSTRACT
This proposal offers a practical solution to increase the quality of
education. Quality of education is affected from various factors, however
the main factor is instructional. A new organization to solve performance
problems of the university is proposed. The main focus of this proposal
is to explain the need for an Instructional Technology Center (ITC),
which tries to enhance teaching, learning and service environment through
instructional technology. The requirements needed for such a development
is explained. Main goals of ITC, organizational and management structure,
required budget and expected performance improvements are presented
in this proposal. It is concluded that such a center will increase the
effective use of technology in all services within Middle East Technical
University.

Token
Ring: Instructional Design Model for Programming Languages, 2004,
20 pages.
Author(s): Bayram L., Durdu L.,& Ersoy H.
ABSTRACT
Token Ring instructional design model offers guidance for preparing
instruction for programming languages. The Token Ring model’s
main interest is in the phases of learner analysis, content analysis,
lesson scenario and implementation. Learner analysis is important because
it affects lesson scenario and implementation directly. Two sub implementation
phases constitute the implementation phase. The first sub implementation
phase is the lesson phase where the content is introduced; the second
sub implementation phase is lab implementation, where students make
practice of the content by solving small problems of the presented content.
The implementation phase is going to be explained later in details.
Moreover, Token Ring model gives emphasis on the evaluation phase a
great importance because it provides data for learner analysis phase.

ABSTRACT
Learning about computer applications most of the time needs step by
step instruction. This means before learning about content some prerequisite
knowledge is required. Learning about computer applications can be thought
as a spiral-hierarchical development. Prerequisite knowledge is also
given a great emphasis in Dick and Carey Model. Dick and Carey defined
instructional goals as “clear statements of behaviors that learners
are to demonstrate as a result of instruction”. Working with computer
applications has the advantage of seeing the outcome of the process
immediately. Therefore, seeing the outcome of the process (immediately
or later!) is important whether learner accomplished or not. By this,
the instructors also have the opportunity of seeing whether a prerequisite
objective is accomplished to pass the next objective.

Organization, 2004, 13 pages.

ABSTRACT
Organizational culture, organizational learning, knowledge and knowledge
management are critical factors for an organization’s success.
Davenport and Prusak stated that knowing about knowledge is critical
to business success- and possibly to business survival. To have knowledge,
it must be learned, and new knowledge should be produced. Technology
takes a great role in all knowledge processes that form knowledge management.
However, knowledge management is much more than technology, but technology
is a part of knowledge management. What type of technology an organization
need depends on the needs, requirements of the organization.

Instructional
Technology Plan: Components for successful implementation, 2004,
7 pages.
Author(s): Durdu L.
ABSTRACT
Living in today’s challenging world requires planned actions in
every area of lives. Individuals, organizations and governments need
to make and implement their plans by analyzing their current positions
and future expectations. Bates (2000) uses the term strategic planning
and says “strategic planning is a relatively well-known and standardized
approach to management” (p.46). In concept level, instructional
technology plan doesn’t differ from plan. The main aim of instructional
technology plan (IT plan) is to increase the quality in education that
is the continual goal of any educational organization. Therefore, it
is important to focus on investigating the components of instructional
technology plan. In this paper, some components are stressed and explained
in detail because it is believed that these components are fundamental
for a successful implementation of technology plan. Some components
are added and given rationale for their presence, some are described
superficially. In order to speak on a common standard, the article named
as “Guidebook for developing an effective instructional technology
plan” (Anderson, 1996) is taken.

ABSTRACT
Developing students’ critical thinking and problem solving abilities
are necessary in the modern era whether with computers or not. Computers
can help us in saving time, visualization, logging, and so on making
the application easier. However, current pre-service education, K-12
curriculum, conditions related with school classrooms makes it difficult
to integrate technology into education. Some radical changes on those
issues must be taken into consideration.
